Chapter 21 Broken Sword

In the past two years in the Sword Valley, the name of Gan Chu Zhenren Shi Feng has been well-known.

This person is the elder of Fen Tian Peak, and he is naturally obsessed with the art of refining. Taiji Sect originally did not have a separate refining hall. Refining was just a branch of the Deacon Hall, which processed the mineral materials sent from various places under the jurisdiction of the sect.

Gan Chu Zhenren was blamed by the head of Fen Tian Peak and the sect leaders for studying the art of refining all day long. Suddenly one day, this Taoist actually refined a magic weapon, which shocked the entire sect.

You should know that magic weapons are divided into nine grades. According to the grade, only those above the fourth grade can be called magic weapons, and those from the first to the third grade can only be called spiritual weapons. Although the fourth grade magic weapon and the third grade spiritual weapon are only one grade apart, they are actually a world of difference. Magic weapons can recognize their masters by dripping blood, change as you like, and can be large or small. The power and use are far beyond the third grade spiritual weapon.

At that time, the sect leaders discussed overnight and finally decided to set up a weapon refining hall, with Gan Chu as the headmaster. Gan Chu was directly promoted to the sect elders council to participate in the sect's major affairs.

The middle-aged man was surprised and said, "The headmaster summoned us? What happened?" Luo said, "Don't ask, just follow me." He stood up and led the four people to the back valley of the Sword Forging Valley.

The Sword Forging Valley was built based on natural earth fire. The further back you go, the closer you get to the center of the earth fire, and the higher the air temperature. The four people didn't know what happened. They secretly thought about whether something went wrong in the recent period, and the headmaster wanted to punish them personally.

The four people were nervous and sweating profusely.

Shi Feng had never been to the back valley, and he didn't dare to look around. He just lowered his head and followed Luo San. Walking all the way to a huge stone hall in the back valley, Luo, the chief steward, stopped and reported loudly, "Disciple Luo San is ordered to see the headmaster." A loud voice inside said, "Come in."

The door of the hall opened, and Shi Feng followed the others into the stone hall. He saw an old man sitting in the middle. He was short and fat, with a round face and a shiny oily head. He had no hair, but his beard was very lush, black and stubbled like a hedgehog, and he was wearing a wrinkled Taoist robe. Everyone knelt down in a hurry, "Greetings to the headmaster."

Master Ganchu waved his hand, "Everyone stand up and talk, don't be polite." His tone was quite easy-going. Shi Feng stood up and realized that there were two other people in the hall, sitting next to Master Ganchu, one was an old man with a white face like jade and a Confucian robe, and the other was a man in his thirties or forties, who looked strong and had a back as straight as an arrow.

Gan Chu looked at everyone and said, "Luo San, are these four people?" Luo San replied, "Yes, they are the best in the Refining Hall." Gan Chu laughed, "How could you forget yourself? Are you inferior to them in skills?"

Luo San was about to explain, but Gan Chu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I am joking with you. You are in charge of too many things and can't get away. It's just these four."

Shi Feng and the other four still didn't understand, but it sounded like they were not going to be punished, so they were relieved.

Gan Chu said, "I called you here today because I have an important task for you. Of course, no one is allowed to tell anyone about this. Otherwise, even if I don't cause trouble for you, there will naturally be people who are more powerful than me who will cause trouble for you." Everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous again.

Gan Chu continued, "Don't worry, you will follow me for the next month. This is not a big deal. Last month, our sect's Huiyanfeng elder, Fairy Feng, encountered a strong enemy outside. After a fight, her Cold Dew Sword was broken into two pieces. She begged me to help her repair the magic weapon. The Cold Dew Sword has thirty restrictions. I dare not guarantee that it can be restored. I can only do my best. Because the materials needed to repair the magic weapon are too huge, I will ask Luo San to find a few disciples with outstanding skills to help me. Do you understand?"

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison, "Listen to the orders of the master." Gan Chu said, "You four just refine the required materials according to my instructions, and you two help me to create and engrave the restrictions." The latter sentence was said to the two old men in Confucian robes, and the two bowed in response.

Gan Chu was a little unhappy, "Don't be like this, although it has delayed your cultivation time a little, but after the matter is completed, the master will give you 5,000 spirit stones each, which is enough." The two old men in Confucian robes hurriedly said, "How dare the disciples, just follow the master's orders." Gan Chu said, "Okay, you all retreat, come to me tomorrow at noon to report, I will study this cold dew sword carefully tonight." Starting from the next day, Shi Feng and the other four came to the inner valley of the Sword Casting Valley on time to help Gan Chu refine various materials needed to repair the magic weapon. Although the cold dew sword is mainly made of water-based materials, the materials and various auxiliary items required for the thirty-layer restriction are as many as more than a hundred pieces, which makes Shi Feng secretly smack his lips. Shi Feng has read quite a few books on refining instruments in the past two years, and knows that refining instruments is actually very profound. Refining materials is just basic skills, and the more important thing is the production of restrictions. The production of restrictions also starts with materials, and different materials required for different restrictions are different. The first step is to draw various runes, the second step is to engrave the rune patterns on the materials, and finally activate the runes through various methods and integrate them into the spiritual weapon, thus forming a restriction.

The beautiful and dazzling spiritual patterns on the spiritual weapon are actually various restrictions.

The materials and combination patterns of the restrictions are numerous, and the functions they play are also varied. Some restrictions increase the weight of the spiritual weapon itself, making the spiritual weapon have the power of a mountain; some restrictions reduce the weight of the spiritual weapon, making it as light as a butterfly; some increase the flying speed of the spiritual weapon, and some allow the spiritual weapon to carry the power of thunder and lightning, the power of fire, and so on.

Shi Feng stayed in the back valley every day, following people in and out, and also observed some scenes of Qian Chu and his two disciples making various kinds of restrictions. It was an eye-opener and he learned a lot. Very satisfied with the task.

He was very satisfied, but Qianchu was very dissatisfied with him. When Qianchu met him for the first time, he discovered that although Shi Feng's figure was no different from that of an ordinary person, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. At such a young age, with only three or four years of experience in refining materials, how can he handle such an important task?

In the next two days, as expected, the other three people completed the refining tasks assigned by him, but Shi Feng did not turn in any materials.

Qian Chu endured it for two days without having an attack. On the third day, he couldn't help scolding Shi Feng. Suddenly, Shi Feng submitted all the materials on the list. The purity of these materials all reached the top grade. Master Qian Chu was overjoyed. , you must know that for the same magic weapon, the strength and power of the magic weapon will be greatly increased regardless of whether it is made of top-grade materials or non-top-grade materials.

Next, what surprised Master Qianchu even more was that although Shi Feng was not very fast in submitting the materials, all the materials he refined were of the highest quality or the best. Moreover, Shi Feng was so meticulous in his work that Qian Chu could not find any faults. For example, on the list It listed "approximately four inches square, five pieces of water-mirror platinum stones of grade six or above." The water-mirror platinum stones submitted by Shi Feng not only reached grade nine, but were also cut to exactly four inches in size.

The reason why Master Qianchu wrote "approximately four inches square" was because it was very hard for the outer disciples to refine the materials. It would take a very long time to make the material four inches square. It would be better to refine it to a rough level, and the rest of the work would be done by Qianchu. The real person will personally measure and purify it again with the instrument. However, the materials submitted by Shi Feng saved him this step. He measured the left and right of the magic weapon, and it was exactly four inches straight.

Another example is the list listed by Qian Chu, "Ten pairs of fire-sucking insects that are over a hundred years old and have four spiny tubes on their bodies." The fire-sucking insects submitted by the other three people will inevitably be mixed with one or two that are less than a century old and only more than 90 years old. The fire-sucking insects submitted by Shi Feng not only have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, but Shi Feng also observed and tested the thorn tubes in the fire-sucking insects' bodies to confirm that they were correct. The fire-sucking insects submitted by others seemed to have four thorn tubes in their bodies, but some of the thorn tubes were completely blocked, and some of the thorn tubes were not fully grown. Fire-sucking insects live by drinking fire, and the thorn tube is the most precious weapon-making material. Substandard thorn tubes are completely useless.

Therefore, after more than ten days, Master Qian Chu had already looked at Shi Feng with admiration.

The repair of the Cold Dew Sword is carried out day by day. Although repairing the magic weapon is not as time-consuming as refining it, sometimes the difficulty is better than refining the new magic weapon. This Cold Dew Sword was broken into two parts, and the material properties of the two broken swords still remain. Master Qianchu must first analyze the material properties of the magic weapon in detail, and then analyze the original restrictions on the Cold Dew Sword one by one, seal them with rubbings, and then use Materials were used to repair the sword body, and the 4 or 5 restrictions involved in the fracture naturally had to be re-engraved one by one.

However, the repair of the magic weapon is not as simple as continuing the materials and re-engraving the damaged restrictions.

For a magic weapon, all the prohibitions are interrelated. Although there are only 4 or 5 prohibitions in the discontinuity, if there is any deviation in the position and order of the engraving of these 4 or 5 prohibitions, the other twenty or so prohibitions may all be lost. If it loses its effectiveness, the magic weapon will not be able to exert its magical power at all.

This cold dew sword is said to have been made by a foreign race from the Northern Han Continent. Fairy Feng bought it at an auction for a large sum of money. There are two prohibitions in it that even a master refiner like Qian Chu has never seen. He has already seen them before. It took me a few days to understand it, and I gathered the people to start work when I thought it was appropriate. Unexpectedly, there was still a problem in the middle. The prohibitions engraved on it often had no effect, or could not activate other prohibitions, and had to be erased and re-engraved. This material naturally flows. Shi Feng was secretly heartbroken as he spent the price of the land.

The most common sight Shi Feng saw of Qian Chu was that he was pacing back and forth in the square room, meditating hard, scratching his ears and head. Shi Feng thought to himself: No wonder this patriarch has a bald head, it turns out that he had all the hair removed by himself.

Until the 33rd day, Qian Chu and two disciples repeatedly deliberated and finally engraved all the restrictions correctly. On this day, Shi Feng and others stood aside with their hands down. Qian Chu sat cross-legged in the middle, with a small purple cauldron in front of him. There was nothing visible from the outside, and Shi Feng and others couldn't feel the heat in the indoor air.

Qian Chu's expression was calm, and he hit the small cauldron with spells one after another. Two hours later, the small cauldron began to shake slowly, and finally it vibrated violently up and down. Qian Chu also stood up, stepping on the Bagua direction with his feet down, his expression solemn.

Another hour passed, and Ganchu's bare forehead was covered with beads of sweat. The small purple cauldron kept spinning. A hint of joy flashed in Ganchu's eyes. Suddenly, he let out a long roar, and a spell hit the small cauldron. The lid of the cauldron flew up, and a small white sword came out of it.

The moment Shi Feng opened the lid of the cauldron, he felt that the air suddenly became hot and hot, and a red tongue of fire emerged from the cauldron. Shi Feng hurriedly used the Yanyang Jue, and then he felt that the heat was greatly reduced.

The small white sword stood quietly in the air. Suddenly, there was a clear sound, and it turned into a four-foot-long sword. The sword was intact, and the sword body was filled with brilliant colors and rays of light. The flames flying out of the small purple cauldron seemed to be attracted by the sword, and were absorbed one after another. After absorbing the flames, the sword actually emitted bursts of cold air. The room was originally hot and hot, but now it was cool and there was a hint of chill.

Qian Chu laughed loudly, "We're done, we're done!" With a finger, the cold dew sword became smaller again, flew into his sleeve and disappeared.

The disciples were also very happy and came forward to congratulate. Master Ganchu was obviously in a very good mood. He waved his hand and said, "You have all made great efforts this time. Each of you will be rewarded with 500 crystal stones. In addition, you can choose any material from the refining room in the front valley as a reward." The disciples naturally thanked him happily.

Master Ganchu took away the purple tripod, removed the auxiliary magic circle, drank a few sips of tea, and ordered the old man in the Confucian robe to pay a visit to Fairy Feng and invite her to come and inspect the magic weapon. After giving the order, he said to Shi Feng and the other four, "Have you chosen the materials? Report it now."

Shi Feng and the other four had already made up their minds, and the other three chose the three most valuable materials. When it was Shi Feng's turn, Shi Feng kowtowed and said, "Disciple does not want any treasures. I hope that the ancestor will reward disciples with one or two taels of ash from the tripod this month." The smile on Ganchu's face suddenly froze, "What? What did you say?"
